  • Publication number: 20260138771
    Abstract: A packaging apparatus includes a magazine (12) having several stacked, sheet-like packaging blanks (10), and a removal apparatus. The removal apparatus includes a horizontally and vertically movable handling device (16) with tools. The tools include at least a clamping bracket (22) and a gripping device (30). The clamping bracket (22) serves on and fixes the stack (14) of packaging blanks (10) in a first surface region (24). The gripping device (30) takes hold of a packaging blank (10, 10-1) that is uppermost in the stack (14), in a second surface region (32). The gripping device (30) is pivotable such that the second surface region (32) can be angled towards the first surface region (24) to separate the gripped packaging blank (10, 10-1) from the stack (14), after releasing the clamping bracket (22), and to remove it from the magazine (12).
